ABOUT US
An Introduction to HCF
An Introduction to HCF
Our journey began in 1982, when my good friend Paul Weinberg started the business as Paul Malcolm Insurance. As the years went by, we welcomed Clive Saffer, Richard Craven, and Steven Gordon, who together formed HCF Partnership in 1990. Andy Gibson joined as a partner in 2006, and I, Kevin Simmonds, came on board in 2007. In 2015, I was delighted to take over the business from Andy, and I’m pleased to say that Andy, Paul, Clive, Richard, and Steve are still with us as consultants.
Getting to know us
What Makes HCF Different?
It’s simple: we put you first. Our goal is for every client to see their adviser as a trusted friend—someone you can turn to for any financial conversation. That’s the standard we set for all our advisers.
Our team is here to support you throughout your financial journey. Our advisers—David Cooper, Ian Bennett, Jack Moses, Richard Revell, Daryl Neuman, Ricky Fox, and Lisa Jordan—are always ready to help. Alongside them, our co-directors Kevin Honour, Steven Sussman, and myself bring a wealth of experience and expertise that I believe is second to none.
Behind the scenes, we have a dedicated support team—Tara Bhudia, Nicky Price, Sonia Martin, Debbie Chisholm, Julie Butt, Vicky Newman, Katie Chapman, and Wendy Biggerstaff. They work tirelessly to make sure you and our advisers get the very best service. It’s rare to find a team that cares as much as they do.
While experience and expertise are important, what really sets us apart is our focus on you. We don’t hold meetings about sales targets or profits. Instead, our conversations are always about how we can make your life better—whether that’s through mortgages, life assurance, private medical insurance, pensions, or investments. If you want to feel truly cared for, just reach out to one of our team. You’ll be in good hands!
Looking Ahead
In June 2024, we were thrilled to welcome investment from Soderberg & Partners, Sweden’s largest financial adviser practice. This partnership will help us bring you even more benefits through technology. While your adviser and our support team will always be here for you, we’ll soon be able to give you more information and clearer explanations about your investments and mortgages—delivered straight to your phone or tablet via our new app. We’re excited to make managing your finances even easier and more convenient.
Take a moment to visit our Advisers page to learn more about our team, or check out our Client Feedback page to see what others say about us.
We look forward to getting to know you and supporting all your financial needs.
